Lebanese Meatball with Spinach Salad

Middle East Recipe! Lebanese Meatball with Spinach Salad for dinner during the week is quick and easy.

You can make it in advance and warm up the Lebanese Meatball when your ready to eat. The best part about this meal is how good it taste even if it is low in calories.

We usually go to the farmers market on Saturday and we met this wonderful women that own's Sweets and Spice. She had a variety of spices and she was kinda enough to give me a sample of the Lebanese Spice to make this wonderful dish.

You can order a variety of spices online and take the guess work out of mixing them up yourself. After talking for awhile, she gave me some ideas of how to use this spice and what to make with it. It sounded to easy so I decided to give it a go!

I served it up with a spinach and tomato salad with a simple dressing. I usually make a lemon, vinegar and olive oil dressing and just mix it up with salt and pepper.

I added a couple of fresh mozzarella balls and cut them up in small pieces. This meal took me about 20 minutes to make. ENJOY!
